Well Abridged series is more like Let's make fun of the little things in a show we've all seen

Hopefully, they won't allow anyone who was involved in the film near this.

Saw The Lone Ranger on Monday. It wasn't that good; rent it, don't go see it

Not only can Sam Mendes do an action film, they want him to do two.

He'd be the first director to do consecutive Bond films since John Glen did five in a row in the eighties.

Started and finished MoH: Warfighter last night. The campaign was certainly pretty, but ridiculously short. It sort of felt like Act of Valor: The Video Game, and I think the navy dropped the ball by not going for a tie-in. It's a shame that EA has taken it out of the rotation. With a little work, it could've been a great game.

I'm of the type that would rather play a short campaign that's more impactful than a long boring one, but that's just my preference. Not trying to argue with you.

Considering the Navy punished the SEALs who consulted on the game for allegedly revealing classified info (though nothing I saw in it from gear to weapons to tactics was really new to me and the only "based on real events" mission I recognized was Hat Trick being a reproduction of the Maersk Alabama rescue, which the details of are pretty public), I find it highly unlikely they would have even considered going that route.

To me it is a great game because of its authentic feel, but unfortunately the majority of gamers want to be doing the Hollywood crap like hunting stolen nukes or fighting WW3 instead of seeing the more mundane and everyday stuff that these guys do in reality.

If nukes fell into evil hands as often games and movies portray, Jericho would be far more than a TV show.


Like I said, not trying to argue with you or change your opinion, just offering my viewpoint.

Yeah, 2010 was a bit more "based on real events" since it was just Operation Anaconda with the serial numbers filed off and a different Dramatis Personae.
